Jade adding quote to data variable

For some reason Jade seems to add the HTML entity for a double quote to the start and end of the _id string when it's not concatenated with an empty string.

Jade:

var post = {_id: ObjectId("551ce90c036474a3805e30cf")};
button(data-id=post._id, data-action='give') Give

HTML:

<button data-id="&quot;551ce90c036474a3805e30cf&quot;" data-action="give">Give</button>

Jade:

var post = {_id: ObjectId("551ce90c036474a3805e30cf")};
button(data-id='' + post._id, data-action='give') Give

HTML:

<button data-id="551ce90c036474a3805e30cf" data-action="give">Give</button>``

Is there anyway to fix this or am I just doing something wrong?

post._id is an object which gets stringify'ed that results in the quotation marks.

Use post.id it's a string by default.
